"A community center initially set up to help coal miners respecialize and find other jobs, now became a place for unofficial 'pilgrimages' of people striving to find their role in life and learn the history from those who lived it."

The "community center" solarpunk writing prompt got illustrated by the awesome Lemonaut ! As always, I'm incredibly impressed with their art.

I think what the Lemonaut does here is the essence of solarpunk : very intentionally creating new visual and narrative symbols we need to tell stories about our future. No AI could create such a vision.

I love how this one mixes the mundane prospects of looking for a new profession, identity, with the Solarpunk hope.

A Solarpunk illustration of a middle-aged woman in an orange jacket, holding a miner's helmet and a flyer. She's looking at a monument of a wind turbine engineer holding hand and helping a miner get out of a hole, a symbol of the respecialization of workers which took place in the community center below them. The building is clearly made of several different styles, a fancy solarpunk architecture covering two top floors above much simpler, glass two on the ground. The whole scene is bathed in warm light of dawn.
